Good

I've always wanted to buy a battery testing tool. I just never got around to doing it. But am i glad that I bought this one? Because upon I'm testing my car's battery. came to find out. The state of charge was 100%, but the state of health was only 6%. And also, my battery has a bad cell And luckily, enough, i bought this tool in used it. Prior to my 3 year warranty, being up, so I was able to take my battery back to Costco, and get it replaced before it went bad on me. And before the warranty was no longer active, it's super easy to use once again. The instruction manual is 10 out of 10 all the tools from this company. The instruction manuals are The best I've ever read honestly. I'm not just seeing that build parties. Great, only thing I will say the only complaint I have is that it doesn't come with any type of carrying case. And even if it was just a small leather pouch or a, you know, Velcro strap pouch, anything just to story, you know? I feel like any a tool like this needs some type of pouch or something to go into to put away. That's the only thing I have bad to say about it. Other than that, the charging test works great. Also, the range better and I do like how you can test the battery, whether it's on your car or off your car and get good results. And it's really cool because it shows, you know how much battery health your life hat. What battery has left that way? You know whether or not it's starting to go bad or whatnot, and yeah, it's just really super simple, easy to use. Can I recommend it to any everybody shopping for a battery tester hmm, you can also check the cranking test. You have your battery which will tell you whether or not your starter is good. And then there's the charging test also, what's pretty neat? Is there's actually a wave for mode? So you could see any type of ripples or anything, you know, going on funky. Especially when you start your car and then yeah. You're able to see what kind of wave form it has. If it's steady or not spikes or drops in your power source, you can test pretty much any type of battery. With this thing, a regular lead battery AGM, flat plate battery, an AGM spiral battery and a gel battery able to detect the dead battery. A bad battery. Also, you can save your recorded data. You know, if you want to show a customer or whatever it does have that option. You could save the wave form, or you know, save the entire test or Whatever and you can print it out. To your customer or your friend or whoever can do take a copy? And take it, see what you're actually doing, and what's going on with their battery. One last thing from the wave form. You know, your vehicle voltage analysis, basically you're going to have your discharge voltage around 12 V. That's before you run your key or your Ignition. Then you have your starting voltage, your Ignition voltage. And then after that, once your car is started, then it goes to your charging voltage, and all 3 of these should differ, and the waveform helps you see where you're at and yeah. If you know the battery's good or your charging system, your starting system where it might be a little weak, you just have to find out what your car's are. Normal specs are and kind of compare them.Anyways, this company is great to customer services.I want to see pretty awesome 5 stars best bang for you buck battery tester

Sehr übersichtlich, Funktionen selbsterklärend, deutsche Sprache einstellbar.

The unit is very well made but..... it says it tests 6-24VDC. It does not. 12/24 only. It will power on at 6 VDC but you cannot test 6VDC batteries. There are no test parameters.

Ohne genauen Batterietyp erfüllt das Gerät nicht die erforderlichen Anforderungen

The shipping of this tester was really fast, received tester in 3 days to Hawaii. It came in a box and the box was packed well to prevent damage. Battery tester's quality is excellent! The tester is thick plastic, the cord does not retain memory when bending, and the battery clip open wide to make sure you have a good connection. The price of this tester is awesome!! It has many features for it's super low price. I have bought a lot of meters and testers in the past. Some only check voltage, a few is a percentage and voltage meter, and usually the load tester is separate. I would carry at least 3 meters to check voltage, load, and percentage. This BT500 can do all those tests and more. It is very simple to set up by connecting the red clip to the positive post and then the black clip to the negative post on your battery. It turns on and the displays show you your options. There are 3 lights to show you off hand your batteries condition. Green is good, yellow means you need to charge, and red is charge and if it can't be charged, it is time to get a new battery. You can verify the lights by going to the testing options. The menu is easy to follow. It will ask you 12 or 24 volts, what type of battery, and the cold cranking amps. The label on the battery has all this information. This tester will tell you the volts, amps, state of health, state of charge, and provide you with a waveform. You can have a tester that tells you your battery has 12 volts but that is meaning less. You need to put a load on the battery and if you have a weak battery with less then 10.5 volts, your car will have a hard time starting if it starts at all. the BT500 tester will also indicate how much your alternator is putting out. You usually need around 13 to 15 volts for your battery to be recharged. I really do not have anything negative to say about the tester itself because it is accurate, durable, and it does everything the company says it does. Very easy to use and very compact. Two things that does not affect my rating because it is not negative. One, I wish it came with a little plastic carrying case, but that is no problem because you can always find one. Two I wish it was touchscreen and that is not a problem because the buttons are marked clearly and is very easy to use. I have tried this tester on my boat, riding mower, motorcycles, and cars and trucks. What I found out on my outboard motor is that the motor has no rectifiers and parts to recharge the battery, and my riding mower had the ability to recharge the battery except when I flipped the mower over it lost its ability to recharge. Now I know exactly how long my boat battery will last before I leave the dock. Being stranded on the ocean due to a dead battery is no fun. All this time I thought my boat battery was being recharged when using the boat. This tester may have saved me from being stranded with a dead battery. I do not think this tester is waterproof so if you take it on your boat, make sure to keep it dry. I am impressed with all the features this tester has and what it can do.
